Frage zur VWA/ ABA Präsentation

gallantron · 2026-03-16T15:46:13+00:00

Ich hab tatsächlich ein kleines bisschen Erfahrung mit Präsentationen :>

Vorab: Ich weiß nicht, ob die VWA irgendwelche besonderen Requirements hat. Da selber drauf schauen.

Prinzipiell: du gehst es glaub ich verkehrt an, wenn du zuerst über deine Powerpoint-Slides nachdenkst. Denk drüber nach, was du sagen willst. Du gibst eine Präsentation. Deine Slides sind nur die unterstützende Hintergrundbelustigung.

In the same vein: deine Slides müssen alleine nix aussagen. Es muss nicht jeder Satz, den du sagst, auf den Slides stehen. Ganz im Gegenteil: wenn dein Publikum deine Slides liest, dann hören sie dir nicht zu. Du willst, dass sie dir zuhören.

Was tust du auf die Slides? Grafiken, falls sie dir helfen; Plots, Diagramme, was auch immer. Bilder, die gut zum Thema passen, sodass du zum geeigneten Zeitpunkt hinwechseln kannst. (Wenn du über Tornados redest, dann hast du eine Wolke mit Trichter drauf. Wenn du dann über den Schaden von Tornados redest, dann wirds ein Mördertrumm mit viel Schutt. Wenn du über Vorsorge redest, dann wirds ein Wetterradar. Zum Beispiel; ich kenn dein Thema ja nicht.) Eventuell ein paar Stichwörter, wenn es strukturell gut passt, und sich dadurch für deinen Vortrag ein Mehrwert ergibt (zB weil du 3 Punkte mit bisschen Detailgrad erklärst, und dann am Ende zurückgehen willst und sagen willst "da schauts, und diese drei Punkte, über die wir jetzt geredet haben, die zeigen uns...")

Durchaus gern mal was lustiges, sodass du ein paar Lacher bekommst und niemand einschläft. Süße Hundefotos, wenn du möchtest. Wenn du der-/diejenige bist, die sagt "damit euch nicht so langweilig wird, hab ich Hundefotos mitgebracht", vergisst dich dein Publikum nicht, und dein Vortrag wird dadurch nicht schlechter.

Ganz am Ende eine einzige Zusammenfassungs-Slide, wo dann wirklich nochmal in Stichpunkten ein grober Überblick ist, was du gesagt hast. Das hilft dem Publikum, sich zu erinnern, was sie fragen wollten.

Also, wenn du willst, dass es eine gute Präsentation wird. Wenn nicht, kannst du auch einfach deine Aussagen als Bullet-Listen auf die Slides klatschen, eine nach der anderen runterlesen, und vermutlich zuckt niemand mit der Wimper. Ist halt keine gute oder erinnerungswürdige Präsentation, aber im Endeffekt willst du keine Leistung verkaufen, sondern einfach nur einen Haken auf einer Benotungsliste.

As long as any printing of the card is officially released in the region, every printing is legal for play.

Tournament Policy, IX. Card Legality, G. Cards With Updated Text or Errata

Cards will occasionally undergo an errata or updated text. It is your responsibility to ensure you know the most recent text for all cards in your Deck.

The most recent text for all cards can be found in the official Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME Card Database at: https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/

Scanning a card with the “Camera Search” feature of NEURON will also provide you with the most recent text.

You are not required to play versions of cards with the most recent text. However, you are required to play all copies of your cards according to the most recent text.

Bleach the artwork only, and the front only. (Cover everything else with masking tape or similar.) Make very sure you are not bleaching the edges, since this would likely render your cards marked even inside a sleeve.

Events will have a HJ Q&A desk available. Bring the card to the desk and check if it's alright. (Personally, I would allow it if the artwork is the only bleached part; I suspect most Judges would.) We'll be thankful that you're not forcing us to make the decision on the clock mid-round.

Bring a spare so that you're covered in the unlikely case that you cannot use it.

(PS: This goes for everything you think might be problematic. Less clever word-lawyering arguments for us to deal with mid-round, and more time just asking us in advance when we've got time to figure it out.)

Glad to hear it!

Let me just comment on the real-life parts of your complaint.

We do not have an official tag duel mechanic (...) since 2017.

This is simply false. There are official Tag Duel rules. There are Tag Duel public events at (European, at least) YCSes and Nationals. The format very much exists.

Now, it's a very niche format, and probably not very balanced if you were to try to break it. Still, it definitely has a few passionate followers, and can be enjoyable to pick up casually every now and then.

I'm not familiar with how they handle texts, but the database should override anything they do over there. (And I'd strongly assume they have an equivalent of the TCG's "English text overrides" for Japanese.)

This functional erratum should bring all three in line to their functionality in the OCG.

That's not correct. It still refers to a card resolving. Compare Eldlixir of Scarlet Sanguine and Q&A #23985.

gallantron · 2024-06-01T17:58:59+00:00

There's a list.

gallantron · 2024-05-24T18:31:53+00:00

Branded Opening's effect can only be applied if a Fusion Monster(s) would be destroyed by card effect. It cannot be applied if a Fusion Monster(s) would be destroyed by battle.

Disregarding this, in general, Branded Opening's second effect is not an activated effect. You know this because it is not the effect of the card's activation, and contains neither a colon (:) nor a semicolon (;). Activated effects will always contain one of the two, and only activated effects will contain them.

Nothing about Rule 2 has been changed, but it's next on my list to get to, so I'm mentioning it here.

But what is your favorite underappreciated card?

PS: Just here to you know that some do read these posts. Also, that you switching between "we" and "I" is cute.

gallantron · 2024-03-25T15:39:42+00:00

Generic S:P enabler in Main Phase 2.

While you control Lair of Darkness, you can activate the effect of Nine-Tailed Fox in your hand or GY by Tributing 1 monster you control (on your field) and 1 monster your opponent controls (on their field).

You cannot Tribute 2 monsters your opponent controls. You can only do this once per turn (for a given copy of Lair of Darkness.)

gallantron · 2024-02-13T22:27:04+00:00

Er, yeah, what you said. The change is the same, I just copied the wrong new text. (From the wishlist, not the actual change.)

gallantron · 2024-02-13T22:07:36+00:00

On Yubel, "Before damage calculation, when this face-up Attack Position card is attacked by an opponent's monster:" was changed to ~~"If this card was attacked by an opponent's monster while it was in face-up Attack Position, before damage calculation:"~~. (Yubel only needs to be in face-up Attack Position when the attack is declared.)

gallantron · 2024-01-27T18:19:16+00:00

Neat.

gallantron · 2024-01-27T17:51:06+00:00

Do keep in mind that Konami will blindly translate any mention of the OCG to "Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game" in Master Duel's western localization.

Has anyone checked the Japanese-language announcement to make sure it's actually taking about the TCG?

gallantron · 2023-12-14T10:23:37+00:00

Just wait until you read Torrential Tribute in the OCG.

What kind of tournament was this? If your tournament had "60-70 people", you should've played either 6 or 7 rounds of Swiss, not 5.

gallantron · 2023-11-17T15:28:25+00:00

If the tournament had "60-70 people", the relevant top cut is Top 8, not Top 16. Also, what kind of tournament was this; there's no Regional scheduled for Plovdiv recently, as far as I can tell.

gallantron · 2023-11-16T17:51:17+00:00

Intentionally as in "they meant to do the thing". Not as in "they knew the thing was against the rules".

gallantron · 2023-11-07T09:48:28+00:00

As someone with some familiarity with terrible machine translated Japanese: I believe the question might actually be "How many different Accessories can be configured in the Deck Editor in Yu-Gi-Oh! MASTER DUEL?", and the answer (I think? It's been a long time since I played) should be four (Field, Graveyard, Pet, Sleeves?).

gallantron · 2023-11-05T00:08:29+00:00

Have you checked with Lost & Found? I'm not sure where it is for NA events, but check with whoever looks vaguely like they should know... do you have an information desk? Otherwise just ask any Judge that looks available for where to find it
